16/f. I'm normally a person who is never really depressed or sad (even on my period), but for the last two weeks at least I have just been feeling like crap all around for no reason. Even when I'm with my friends, I can't seem to have fun like I used to. I'm artistic/perceptive and I've just been in a zombie state for two weeks. It's like all I can listen to is Nirvana, which is not normal for me. I'm a good kid and I get good grades but I have also been incredibly stressed out lately. Do you think my stress is causing this temporary depression? This is really not normal for me at all, and usually I handle stress well. Does anyone have any insight or advice for me? Thank you all so much.

Think hard about what's been going on the past two weeks. Is anything different?
Maybe the problem is that everything is too normal. Maybe you need to add a little spice to your life. If your the artistic type try broadening your horizens.
Just try new things. I'm the artistic type as well, so i'm guessing that your problem is just a lack accomplishement, your getting to comfortable in your own skin.
Paint something you wouldn't normally paint.
Listen to something you've never heard before.
Write something you wouldn't normally right.
